Despite the fact that today is Eat with Family Day, the HOD still what app in the group chat at 6pm. The irony is the SLs had just reiterated the rules of communication during Contact Time. The content of the message is not important and urgent. If an email were to be sent out during the weekend and no immediate action is needed, what is the purpose of texting in a group chat? To remind passive-aggressively? The biggest joke is the HOD had never email anything after the meetings or even internal marking exercise throughout the year, and an email on the last day of the school year is that important? This HOD is also a constant MOE award winner. A sneak preview of 2024 plans and inviting suggestions/ideas from people can hold till next week. So why the need to comm in a whats app chat group. Why are these type of KPs so highly regarded and is there fairness in this system? This is also a HOD who has placed learning journey on the last day of the previous term. Well, perhaps the activity had ended at 4.30pm on a safe note but teachers on the ground really felt "squeezed" to no "juice" left. A mesaage to mention that there was no better alternative dates could be communicated at her side and this would perhaps soften people's heart. Seriously no emotional intelligence at all. |
Yes, zero emotional intelligence. In my school, Eat with Family Day is not even mentioned nor enacted. In fact, we have monthly staff bonding day where we are forced to attend no matter how busy we are. If we can't attend, we have to email the SLs with valid reasons, attendance is tracked. What a painful staff bonding this has become. And monthly, really? We don't even enjoy them. We tried to voice this out, only to get the SLs retorted we should instead be appreciative to get this opportunity arranged for us to step away from work and spend 3 hours bonding. Thing is, the amount of work remains and deadlines don't move, they don't vanish. So we are expected to manage our time, as though we haven't been doing that. In this sense, we lost 3 hours of sleep in order to catch up with work. SLs even bragged about how we are all so well taken care of. And if I recall correctly, isn't there supposed to be a semesterly focus day, a whitespace? It seems like this too has been taken away.
